Hunter Mill District Winter Coat Closet Open Through March 15

The sixth annual Hunter Mill District Coat Closet for adults and
children in need of winter coats is now open. The Coat Closet,
co-sponsored with Reston Interfaith, opened on Tuesday, Nov. 13, for its
sixth year of helping area residents stay warm. The Coat Closet will be
accepting coat donations for adults and children at the North County
Governmental Center, 12000 Bowman Towne Drive, Reston, on the following
days through March 15:

Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to noon.

Thursdays from 5 to 8 p.m.

Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Donations of winter coats are tax deductible and receipts are available.
It is asked that donations be new or gently used (in good condition and
dry cleaned). Both child and adult sizes are needed ─ extra large
sizes are especially appreciated. Volunteers are needed to assist clients
in selecting coats, greet donors and sort donations.

Last year approximately 5,000 coats were given away. “The Coat Closet
reflects two important things about the community: first, the willingness
to recognize a need and second, the generosity in responding to that
need,” said Hunter Mill District Supervisor Catherine Hudgins, “They both
are a reflection of being part of a great community.”
